RFE: Education Module - further refine text clarity highlighting. #4515

Closed Tzahr closed 2 months ago

Tzahr commented 2 months ago

A refinement of the changes introduced with #4452 - messages are now negative/neutral/positive colour-coded but can benefit from additional tweaks in formatting to increase clarity.

Specfically colour-coding the whole text element in the report has the downside of also colour-coding the character's name, which is less than ideally readable, and also hihglights a lot of miscellaneous text, rather than picking out the specific key term relevant. I further suggest to confine colour-coding to specific text segments, and to selectively bold said text segments to enhance readability. I have provided an example:

This should further improve at-a-glance clarity.

This is very doable, but would require reformatting how these messages are parsed into MekHQ, as currently it's done as a String, whereas this would likely require using StringBuilder and then parsing it into a String. Not terribly difficult, will just require a little elbow grease due to the number of possible messages. I'll take a look and see what I can do.
